You Can Make a Health Drink at Home

Processed drinks are not as good as those you make yourself because when you buy them from the store, some of the vitamins and nutrients are lost in the production process. This is why you should only consume a health drink that has been freshly made. 

You can make your own health drink by blending either fruits or vegetables. Once you have all the ingredients which include the fruit or the vegetable, water, salt, sugar, water and crush ice, you can already blend it using the blender.

Don’t remove the pulp because it also contains essential vitamins and minerals. Since this is best served cold, add some more crushed ice. 

These essential vitamins and minerals that we stress happen to be partners with enzymes and co-enzymes. Without it, we cannot carry out our work and live because this is needed by the body to absorb, convert and digest the food and drinks we consume to give us energy. 

When making a health drink with either fruits or vegetables, remember that this should be raw. While some of these can be blended with the seeds still present, you better remove the seeds from orange or grapefruit since it has a bitter after taste. 

If you happen to make a health drink that is not organically grown, you better peel off the upper layers because there may still be chemical residue there even if you have washed it in water. In the case of organically grown products, you still have to remove the outer skin of some which include those found in the grapefruit, kiwis, papaya, pineapple and orange. 

You should also only make a health drink with fruits that are ripe. You can distinguish a product that is ripe from those that are not by examining the leaves or the sides. If you can’t tell the difference, you will end up drinking something that is not healthful and tasty. 

Naturally, you can force the fruit or the vegetable down the mouth of your blender. You have to cut this into small pieces so everything will fit inside including the other ingredients you will be using. Don’t forget to also close the blender by putting the lid on top otherwise the contents inside will come out. 

Now turn on the blender and then hold it for a few seconds until everything inside is mixed together. When it is ready, get a glass and then serve. 

One thing you should remember about any health drink is that once you make it, you better finish it because the taste will be different after a day. This means only finish what you can consume so you avoid wastage. If you made too much, offer this to someone else who many also want to try it. 

The process of making a health drink is not that different if you want to make juice, shake or a smoothie. You just have to prepare the ingredients and if ever what you made is too thick, just add water to make it more fluid. 

A lot of people will agree that a health drink is the next best thing to food that you will otherwise consume. You don’t have to cook it since the blender will do all the work without losing any vitamins and minerals which happens when you put this in the frying pan.
